SAN ANTONIO — A police report released Monday provided few new details into what police are investigating as a murder-suicide of two men found dead Saturday in their North Side home.

The names of the men who lived at the residence on the 13400 block of Vista Del Mar were redacted from the report. But the unidentified man listed in the report as in his 40s is the suspect and the other man, in his 20s, is described as the victim, according to the report.

A neighbor discovered the two dead in their bed after going over to check on them, the police report states. Neighbors had grown concerned because the men's garage door had been left open for a few days, and the neighbor who found the bodies also told police the door to the house was open.

Police at the scene Saturday said there were signs of a struggle, but the report made no mention of a possible struggle. A neighbor said Saturday the two men had moved into the home in November and were redecorating.

After police arrived and taped off the house, another neighbor told police that she had heard two gun shots but “at the time did not think anything of it,” according to the report. After talking to neighbors, she came forward to report it, in case it was relevant, the report states.
